Thank you for choosing to make your work accessible. Your articles and podcasts are my go to because I easily understand; I have learnt so much from your articles and podcasts, thank you.
I agree with respect to the privileged academic writing style in that most of the time it's difficult for no good reason.
The reason is to make it seem more unbiased, sophisticated, etc. etc. Which, to me, are not good reasons. It's substituting surface qualities for the actual substance.

Thanks, Lusungu, I'm glad it's helpful!
I *SO* agree with this gripe!
But given the topic (academic publishing) let's add the other elephant in the room:
journals forcing you to make your tables and graphs less accessible, and then botching the resolution of your artwork so it comes out all fuzzy.
Read my book (Josh reviewed it) and joint the guerilla army to combat this!
